Every Time BTS Has Appeared on Late-Night Shows (1)

BTS are no strangers to late-night talk shows, whether its putting on a jaw-dropping performance or showing off their personalities in interviews. Now, the group is joining the late-night scene one at a time, with Jung Kook set to make his solo Tonight Showdebut on Monday, Nov. 6, as a guest and performer.

Jung Kook’s appearance onThe Tonight ShowStarring Jimmy Falloncomes just three days after the release of his debut solo studio album,Golden,which arrived first thing Friday (Nov. 3). The new record houses a pair ofBillboard Hot 100top five hits: the Latto-assisted “Seven” (No. 1) and Jack Harlow collaboration “3D” (No. 5). On Monday, Spotifyconfirmedthat “Seven” became the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams in the platform’s history — doing so in just 108 days.

And while it’s Jung Kook’s first time on the late-night stage solo, he’s a veteran to shows like the Tonight Show, TheLate Late Show With JamesCorden, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
